10 Configuration
Tabulator
This input field, which you can edit by choosing EditTabulator Sequence,
displays the tabulator index of the field selected in the Field combination field.
When you open the Properties screen, the field with the lowest tabulator index is
selected automatically. When you move through the fields using the tabulator, the
cursor always jumps to the field with the next highest tabulator index until the field
with the highest tabulator index is reached. This is followed by the buttons for the
Properties screen. The cursor then jumps back to the field with the lower tabulator
index.
Note
The tabulator indexes do not have to be sequential (1,2,3,4,....10). They can also
contain gaps (1,3,5,6,7,10). The advantage of this is that it is not necessary to
resort all of the fields if the tabulator sequence is changed.
Field Name
Fig. 10-34: Screen Editor – field names
In the area shown, you can enter the name of the field for the relevant language as
it is to appear in the screen. The fields for the following languages can be seen
here: GR for German, UK for English, and FR for French (See also: Languages).
The name displayed in the Field combination field can be left as it is, extended,
abbreviated, or a new name can be assigned.
Note
You are advised to ensure that the length of the names in the different languages
are roughly the same because the coordinates apply to all languages used in the
field. In the screenshot above, the field name entered in French was too long and
has been truncated in the screen.
The input fields for the languages you do not use can be left empty. It is
advisable, however, to maintain these fields in your language. If the language is
then changed at some later point in time, the field names in the Properties dialog
are not empty.
